Start by calculating volume: 20x20 is 400 square feet; multiply by the desired depth in feet to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Typical driveway base depths range from about 3 to 6 inches depending on traffic and soil, and you should add 10–15% for compaction and waste. Multiply the final cubic yards by the per-yard price for your chosen material and request a local quote to include delivery.

For most driveways and heavily used paths, 2 inches is usually not sufficient to provide a durable, stable surface. Most projects require deeper sections—commonly 3–6 inches depending on the type of material, expected vehicle load, and the condition of the subgrade. In Dupont's climate, thicker bases help resist frost heave and rutting.

Different gardeners use variations called a u00223-3-3u0022 rule, but mulching best practice is simple: apply 2–4 inches of mulch, keep it pulled back a few inches from trunks and building foundations, and refresh it as needed each season. Soil type, plant species and local climate affect how often you replenish mulch, so adjust depth and timing based on plant needs and site conditions.

Dump truck delivery costs depend on truck size, material weight, travel distance, and local fees; tri-axle trucks are commonly used for residential deliveries.

Buying bulk by the yard is almost always cheaper per cubic yard for medium to large projects, while bags are more convenient for very small jobs or tight-access areas. If you need several cubic yards, bulk delivery and a single dump are usually the most cost-effective option; for a few bags close to the house, bags may be easier despite higher unit cost.

Consider the project purpose (drainage, walkability, load-bearing), expected traffic, desired appearance, and local climate when choosing materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone and mulch.
